Andrea Long Chu was once one of Brittany's favorite Sex and the
City bloggers, and she's now a Pulitzer-winning critic. Andrea
lends her critical eye to everything from the TV show Yellowstone
to the work of Sally Rooney to pro-Palestinian protests and free
speech. And she does it with wit, style, and fearlessness. Brittany
chats with Andrea about her new book, Authority - a collection of
some of Andrea's best work, along with two new essays. They discuss
why art is a "fossil record" of desire, what kind of authority
critics have, and why we might need to rethink what criticism
should do for us.
